A DVD and Blu-ray release for a movie usually takes about 6 months from their release date. I don't mind waiting though.

Don't anime movies usually take a lot longer, though? I mean the Haruhi movie came out in, what, February? And it's still not out on DVD yet. I think we should be prepared to wait just as long for K-On.

Well, 6 months is just an approximation, I said 'about 6 months' right?
Yep, Haruhi movie takes longer... aired in February, and it'll be out in 18 December (based on the retailer dates). Maybe K-ON! will be about the same.

well, depending on what the movie covers in content…. There could be a 3rd season… I mean they did leave the ending of season 2 wide open. I believe a 3rd season can be debated AFTER the movie is released.

I don't think a third season will be discussed at all. We were given a good final ending to K-ON!! to send the girls off to university. Throwing in another season would be a huge "... what?". The movie itself is already extra and will serve as a great epilogue. Unfortunately, I think anything more would be too much.

well... There's still probability about that since following the manga storyline isn't a must for anime... But I'm not hoping that too much...

This doesn't even have to do with the manga storyline. We're talking narratively. It has to do with the anime concluding in a way that is definitely a conclusion. It starts in high school, ends in high school, has a movie-scale epilogue, and ends at a proper place for a story to end. Thinking that there'd be a third season at all is crazy.

Speaking of the movie, I also doubt that we'll gonna see the girls perform at Budokan. It might be a mere high schoolers dream after all. Even Sawako with her skills far surpassed the HTT members never had a big performance (but we don't really know that for sure). Still, I'm hoping the girls would have an 'outside' performance like in the live house episode or somekind of natsu rock festival

Maybe like... They were there to watch the concert and got invited onto the stage by some other band. But since no other band was introduced, I doubt that could even happen. I think the closest they can get is maybe being an opening act or just being in the crowd.

What person in the right mind would make a movie out of a backwater doujinshi that portrayed the evils of reality as well as showing random (and unnecessary) rape whilst instilling readers to give up on life without even trying when the show they strived to make is the exact opposite? Especially when said work printed money?

Consider that many of the people wondering about such a possibility are in this thread. Which leads to an inevitable angry mob from the idea they suggested. Is this just an excuse to get the adrenaline pumping by mobbing something?

That's just asking for an early retirement, really.

Because if Kyoto Animation can make 8 episodes of the same plot, then surely they can make a Gainax ending out of something like K-On!

I'm pretty sure they won't make the movie an adaptation of Requiem 5 a Dream, but it could be possible if KyoAni had a new head/director/CEO who wants "more realism" or shit like that.

When i did work for the BBC and Channel 4 in the UK, it was the total opposite of Japanese TV. Everything is all about "realism". They demand more depressed British working class citizens rather than optimistic happy-go-lucky types. And thus you get shows like Skins and Eastenders where Requiem 5 a Dream's storyline seems to be a daily routine for the characters of those shows.

And with the current recession/inflation/whatever and the success of the fucked up "Welcome to the NHK" makes it possible for something in the likes of Requiem 5 a Dream to be made into an anime series.

You're overlooking one major thing: Kyo-ani is not Gainax! It is not in their makeup to go down that path.

I'm sure the original author will have a say in the movie's plot, and I really don't think that he's into abusing his characters that way!

Well let's hope so.

But back to the topic: I'd love to see the K-On movie having storylines based on real-life indie bands, like moving to New York or London, having Youtube hits of over 9,000!!!!!, starting electronic side-projects, becoming opening acts for superstar rock bands or artists or something like that.

It'd be like watching a female version of Flight of the Conchords with more moe
